Is it a helicopter? I know they run cheaper than most transport options for long distances. The hospital should have a case manager or social worker who can help you, do you have the option to ask for their help? They can usually determine the cost up front and see what oop will be with insurance and what not. Good luck

Is ORNGE in that area? I've heard a lot of good about them (aside from the Ontario spending scandal).

If your dad purchased travel insurance, they can help with this.

How's he doing?

Does the unit/hospital have a case manager or social worker? In my experience, they should be the ones most equip to helping you with this. Can they price comp a plane vs a helicopter? Can they contact his normal insurance to see if they can help with the oop cost in addition to what the travel insurance will pay? I'm sorry you're going though this.

I would still call the travel insurance company since (if I'm remebering correctly) he became ill because of the trip.

Call his travel insurance co first. It is supposed to cover to and from the destination just not while he is on the ship. If you can't get anywhere with them then call his insurance and see if they offer any type of coverage. That is where I would start.

Is there a time frame that you need be back home, for work etc? I'm glad he's doing better and you guys are able to stay for so long. I

Do you know what hospital he'll be at here? If you've had contact with them to arrange transfer I would try to talk to their social worker about recommendations.
